Abstract
Introduction: Gilbert's syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by a relative lack of glucuronyl transferase, inadequate hepatocyte absorption of unconjugated bilirubin, and recurrent bouts of jaundice.
Case Presentation: A 24-year-old male patient was diagnosed with Gilbert's syndrome during a routine checkup. All tests except unconjugated bilirubin were normal.
Conclusion: It was the first report from Bushehr. This case was asymptomatic patient which, identified only during routine checkup tests.
